Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo by Obert Skye |
Rating: 5 Stars |
I really like the humor, point of view and the characters. It has a creative plot and I've read the whole series. Believe it or not there is a ton of coincidence that they call fate. It is a refreshing book really makes you think about things differently.

13 Reasons Why by Jay asher |
Rating: 5 Stars |
It was completely haunting and riveting. It was one of those books that is really deep and flawlessly finished. It made me want to be a better person, and will be one of those books that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
WARNING: you have to be in the right mood for it though. if your in the mood for something light, dot read it just then. It was really moving but when i started it it depressed me because i wanted something with more romance. after i took a little break i went back and read the rest of it. I'm glad that i did.

Max: A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson |
Rating: 4 Stars |
I liked this one a lot, but they've all gone downhill for me since "The Fugitives" part of the series ended. It's "The Protectors" now, and while the environmental messages have gone down a little since The Final Warning, its still a little too much. I mean, now Max has to save the world AND stop global warming?? It doesn't seem like the flock has much of a purpose anymore, or a definite enemy. However, I'm a sucker for Max and Fang, so probably two extra stars for them. :)

Coraline by Neil Gaiman |

"Coraline" was a very interesting book, to say the least. It was very creepy at times, but it also had this sort of dark humor that I liked.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery |
Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is a great and quick read. I read it cover to cover in less than two days. I could not put it down. It was so captivating.
It is a great story of a little orphan girl who gets adopted and the story follows her through her life, from child to adult. I highly recommend this book for any girl out there.

Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard |

I loved the idea of this book, but thought it could have been done better. It was a cute story, but very very predictable. Maybe it just isn't my kind of book, but if you prefer love stories I suggest you check it out.

Blue Plate Special by Michelle Kwasney |

Amazing! Amazing! I have never read anything like this book, the storyline is great and unexpected. I love how the author gives hints throughout the book, and lets you piece it together yourself. Such a beautiful story. One of the best I have read in a while.

The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan |
Rating: 4 Stars |
I was so excited to read this book, I love the Percy Jackson series and love anything Egyptian. I can't say I absolutely loved this book, but I did enjoy it. At times I felt it was trying too hard with the humor. But overall I really liked it and look forward to more.

The Enemy by Charlie Higson |
Rating: 5 Stars |
I'm still reading it right now but I like it. It's a little bit of a zombie like book --- about everyone, except for kids, who get a disease and get sick. The kids are loving it because there are no more parents around to tell them what to do. I love the book.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick |
Rating: 4 Stars |
I was unsure about reading this, because I thought it would be another "Twilight" remake (ugh) but I was wrong. I really liked it and despite the fact that many people have decided that it is indeed a remake, I can't wait for the next one. I couldn't say the same for "Twilight".

The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong |
Rating: 5 Stars |
I love this book for the romance and adventure! I also really like how the story progresses and how Kelley Armstrong reveals a lot of new things about the characters that makes you anxious to read the next book in the series: "The Gathering". This book is thoroughly enjoyable even though some parents may not like their teens reading them because it includes witchcraft, necromancy and demons.

The Prophecy (The Watchers Chronicles) by Dawn Miller |
Rating: 4 Stars |
The best part of this book was its wonderfully well-written characters. Well, at least the human characters. I loved Jonah, Carly, Sam, J, Jenna and Mikey and each of their personalities, and found them all very relatable. Their group dynamic is especially amazing, as it was intended to be. This is what kept my interest through the slower and more confusing parts of the novel. However, it wasn't the writing that made the story confusing, just the fact that it took awhile to explain what was going on and for the action and pace to begin to pick up. Actually, Dawn Miller did an excellent job keeping things focused despite the many flashbacks and multiple point of view changes.

How Not To Be Popular by Jennifer Ziegler |
Rating: 4 Stars |
This book was funny and quirky, and it was fun to read. I really liked all of the over the top things the characters did, but it seemed unrealistic, (not that I would expect a book with this title to be realistic). Overall a good book.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater |
Rating: 1 Stars |
This is a Twilight copycat, only worse.
The characters have absolutely no personality. I don't even know how Sam and Grace fell in love. The plot is obvious, and the writing is weak.
This book also sets another awful example for teenage girls everywhere.
Overall, the best part of the book? The cover design.

Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce |
Rating: 5 Stars |
A great novel about a deadly girl and her sister who are fighting for their safety and her love. Together they fight for a tight knit group who works to rid the world of as many Fenris as they can. With those thoughts in mind, this novel ensnares you and will hold you captive to it's whim...at least there is no hatchet involved.

I think I'd give it 3 1/2 too if I was able. This is a fun, action-packed fantasy novel --- the second in the Stone of Tymora trilogy. Though sometimes I feel things happen for no other reason than to slow down the plot, I really enjoyed it and do look forward to the final novel coming out this year.
